What I claim as new is I 1. A device of the character described, including a substantially l. shaped creeper carrying member, a plate having a hook on its outer terminal adapted to removably engage the outer terminal of the L-shaped member, a securing bar having one terminal detachably engaged in the opposite terminal of the L-shaped member and also detachably engaged in the opposite terminal of the plate, and means engageable with the bar for preventing accidental displacement of the bar and holding the L-shaped member and the platein position.

' 2. A device of the character described, including a substantially L-shaped creeper carrying member, a plate having a hook on its outer terminal adapted to removably engage the outer terminal of the L- shaped member, a securing bar having one terminal detachable engaged in the Opposite terminal of the L-shaped member and also detachably engaged in the opposite terminal of the plate, means engageable with the bar for preventing accidental displacement of the bar and holding the ls-shaped member and the plate in position, and. means carthe other terminal being provi ried bv the bar for engaging the folly for increasing the tension of the bar.

3. A device of the character described, including a substantially L-shaped member carryin creepers, one of the terminals thereof being provided with an opening and the other terminal being provided with a slot, a plate having a hook and said hook being adapted to fit in the aperture of the first member, the opposite terminal being provided with a transverse slot, and a securing bar having one terminal fitting in the slot of the l..-shaped member and the other terminal engaged in the transverse slot in the plate.

4. A device of the character described, in cluding a substantially l.-shaped member carrying creepers one of the terminals thereof being provided with an o ening and (ibd with a slot, a plate having a hook and said hook being adapted to fit in the aperture of the first member. the opposite terminal being provided with a transverse slot, and a clamping bar having a head upon one end for embracing the slotted end of the first member, the opposite end thereof being .threaded and extended through the trans verse slot, a plate fitting over the end or" the second member and closing the transverse slot. a nut-tor engaging the extended end of the bar for holding the members from separation, and means carried by the bar for engaging the telly for increasing the tension of the bar.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.
